JOHNSON CONTROLS, INC.
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS OF MANPOWER
WEST CARROLLTON, OHIO

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974
(19 USC 2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance as a secondarily affected worker group.
In order to make an affirmative determination and
issue a certification of eligibility for secondary workers
to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance, the group
eligibility requirements of paragraph (b) of Section 222 of
the Trade Act, as amended, must be met. It is determined in
this case that the requirements of (b) of Section 222, as
amended, have been met.
The investigation was initiated on July 25, 2006, in
response to a petition filed by the United Automobile,
Aerospace, Agriculture and Implement Workers of America,
Local 696 on behalf of the workers of Johnson Controls,
Inc., West Carrollton, Ohio. The workers are engaged in
the production of seats and headliners.
The investigation revealed that employment at the
subject firm declined from 2004 to 2005, and declined again
in January through June 2006, when compared to the
corresponding period of 2005.
The investigation revealed that Johnson Controls,
Inc., West Carrollton, Ohio supplies component parts for
automobiles, and at least 20 percent of its production or
sales are supplied to a manufacturer whose workers were
certified eligible to apply for adjustment.
The investigation further revealed Johnson Controls,
Inc., West Carrollton, Ohio, also leased workers from
Manpower.
In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974
(26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance (ATAA) for older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification
of eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility
requirements of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met.
The Department has determined in this case that the
requirements of Section 246 have been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50
or over and possess skills that are not easily
transferable. Competitive conditions within the industry
are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Johnson
Controls, Inc., West Carrollton, Ohio qualify as adversely
affected secondary workers under Section 222 of the Trade
Act of 1974, as amended. In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, I make the following certification:


"All workers of Johnson Controls, Inc., West
Carrollton, Ohio, including on-site leased workers of
Manpower, who became totally or partially separated
from employment on or after July 13, 2005, through two
years from the date of certification are eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of
the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply
for alternative trade adjustment assistance under
Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 10th day of August, 2006
